Sink repair for Maesyrhandir homes

About our sink repair in Maesyrhandir

Chipped, cracked and crazed basins and vanity units can be repaired, with the colour and shine matched to the basin. The basin stays on the wall. Our technicians work on enamelled basins, vanity unit basins and antique & period basins, and the jobs we see most are a chipped vanity basin and fine cracks across the glaze.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Powys.

Chipped basin edge, before and after repair

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

How to look after the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Store toiletries on a shelf

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Repair or replace in Maesyrhandir?

Replacing a basin often means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair keeps the basin you have. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why us?

  • Everything repaired in place
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

What a repair can’t fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Leaks from the fittings
  • Through cracks that let water out
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

What we work on

  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Enamelled basins
  • Antique & period basins

Maesyrhandir questions

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

What happens if you find more damage?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

What we are called out for in Maesyrhandir

Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, so chips are common. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • A period basin that needs restoring
  • Crazing in the glaze
  • Chips around the rim
  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit

Comparing quotes

  • When it can be used again

Choosing a repair company

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a couple of hours for most chips. The room is left tidy.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. The basin can normally be used later that day or the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Advice

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

How to get a fixed quote

Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire basin, we can give you a fixed price.
